No Barrow shots on target again. Starting to get worried if Whing really thinks we’re not “far off” because we look shite.

Awful. All the failings we knew about and nothing has been done to change it. Worrall wasn’t good enough two years ago, we had all summer to sign a right wing back and havent. Mad. Similarly on the left and we still persist with Newby.
Wingbacks isn’t working but we don’t have fullbacks either and as others have said the recruitment has been poor. Midfield is not a patch on last seasons which was always going to be hard to fill but the likes of Raglan are nowhere near good enough. One of the worst defenders we’ve had for errors.
Not seen us this bad even in the Cooper days, and sadly I don’t see a lot in the absent players other than Canavan and Whitfield that will really improve us.

If we get anything here and next week at Bristol rovers it will be a miracle.

Midfield is the biggest difference to past seasons. We can’t get hold of the ball and on the odd occasion when we do we can’t pass to each other.
I’m glad that Whing said we had a great training session midweek as that’s really cheered me up!!

Every chance is coming from them playing into pockets in-between the slowest centre halves I’ve ever seen and two of the most unnatural wing backs I’ve ever seen. It’s football suicide. Everyone can see it apart from Whing and Co
